David Tennant returns as Don Juan In Soho

Published 2 November 2016

David Tennant returns to the West End in March 2017 to play the title role in Patrick Marber’s Don Juan In Soho.

The production will preview at Wyndham’s Theatre from 17 March 2017, with press night on 28 March 2017. It will complete its strictly limited eleven week run on 10 June 2017. Tickets go on public sale today, 2 November 2016, at 1pm.

“Please don’t be charmed, he’s not a lovable rogue…” Loosely based on Molière tragicomedy ‘Don Juan’, this savagely funny and filthy modern update transports the action to contemporary London and follows the final adventures of its debauched protagonist – a cruel seducer who lives only for pleasure.

Direction is by Patrick Marber with set and costume designs by Anne Fleischle (who won the Olivier Award for Hangmen at the same venue) and sound and music by Adam Cork. Further casting will be announced at a later date.

David Tennant has worked extensively in theatre, television and film winning numerous awards for his work including the Critics’ Circle Award for Best Shakespearean Performance and the National Television Award’s Outstanding Drama Performance. On television he is best known for playing the tenth incarnation of the Doctor in the BBC’s classic series Doctor Who. Patrick Marber’s plays include Dealer’s Choice, After Miss Julie, Closer, Howard Katz, Three Days in the Country and The Red Lion. His film credits include Closer (directed by Mike Nichols), Notes On A Scandal (directed by Richard Eyre), Old Street and Love You More.
